Summary of Front Panel Operations

Front Panel Operations 2

Descriptions of all equipment operations start at the front panel and proceed through the following topics, which appear in the following sequence:

∙Preparing for Operation

∙Configuring a Measurement Channel

∙Setting Operating Conditions

∙Operating Modes

∙Additional Features

∙Instrument Interfaces

This chapter applies exclusively to instrument applications that use only the front panel controls and annunciators. Other chapters apply specifically to applications that use the memory card feature or interface with a computer, printer, or modem. It is assumed that the user has understood the information in Chapter 1, "Preparation for Use," including such topics as setting up the instrument and making measurement connections. Perform the Ten-Minute Tour at the front of this manual for a quick overview of instrument operation.

All the procedures in this chapter use control/annunciator diagrams that provide the control sequences and expected indicators for each operation. A summary of how to use the control/annunciator diagrams is shown in Figure 2-1.

Press then release the front panel key shown. In this example, press the FUNC key

Use the up/down arrow keys to select an item from the displayed menu.

When the menu item selected with the up/down arrow keys is correct, press the ENTER key.

When there are multiple selections, the procedure will continue.

A dotted pointer indicates a typical menu selection, while a solid pointer indicates a required selection.

The shaded portion above a menu indicates a front panel display for that menu. In this example, the menu is called SET FUNC.

A solid pointer means the menu selection is required. In this example, °F must be selected.

A dotted arrow means the menu selection is typical and the user must choose the item that meets the instrument application. In this example, a typical choice is thermocouple T.

A procedure that includes an audible "beep" will use a beep symbol as shown.
